55:43 The episode features Loch offering a guided practice called Peer Inquiry Practice. This practice can be done by yourself with the recording or with a partner taking turns reading and answering the inquiries.
Here are the written inquiries for the Glimpse Practice: 1. When awareness drops below the neck and opens, what does this open-hearted awareness know? 2. What does the welcoming heart know? 3. Is this awake awareness an experience occurring to you, or is this who you are? 4. What is the relationship between awareness and any unpleasant feelings? 5. What is the relationship between awareness and beliefs and stories? 6. What is the relationship between awareness and the fear of the fear of death?
These mindful glimpses serve as invaluable tools for experiencing ways to access the awake consciousness that is already here within all of us.

Thank you. It was a delight to hear two aware, awakened men discussing how to be mindful in the middle of their relationships. In my experience most women hold around 90% responsibility for the state of the relationship, as reflected in Terry's comment about wifes sending their husbands for therapy.. Thank you for demonstrating compassion for both men and women in the context of their patriarchy dominated socialization. .❤🐞
